Fantastic

The new Crisler Arena is absolutely phenomenal. The basketball facilities are top notch. The campus gyms are okay. The libraries are great and the union is nice.

Music

I am very happy with my program. It is preparing me for my future in the field of music and as a collaborative pianist. I would do it again too. I am concern about finding a job in my field because we have a lot of demand but there are a lot of pianists out there.

I feel quite safe on campus and see campus police when I am at school too. But sometimes I get the crime alert emails and it scares me to walk at night at school.

Amount Could Have Been a Little Higher

I received financial aid, although I still had to take out several loans just to cover the cost of everything. There aren't many scholarships that students can apply for directly through the University and they don't advertise them very well.

Go Big, Go Blue!

There is nothing like athletics at the University of Michigan. From Football Saturdays to the night basketball games, the sports dominate this college. The town and campus comes alive when the sports do. Not only are the varsity sports amazing, but there is just about every sort of sport imaginable here with the club and IM sports. Athletics is definitely one of the highlights of the University of Michigan.

Something for Everyone!

Ann Arbor is a great college town. It has so many fun shops and restaurants that keep everyone occupied and busy. It also has great areas like the Wide World of Sports, the Ann Arbor Ice Cube, and the Campus Recreational Buildings to use in the areas of sports. Not only does it end there, but the athletic facilities are amazing- Ann Arbor is the greatest on game day. It is a great size- not too big to get completely lost in, but not too small to get bored in- there is something for everyone here!

FOOTBALL

Every Saturday in the fall Ann Arbor becomes a different place as everyone heads for the Big House. Campus is crazy and so much fun. School spirit here is like nothing I've ever seen before. Basketball and hockey games are also a lot of fun however they are not the huge event that each and every football game is.

Marijuana Is Decriminalized in the City.

Marijuana is a decriminalized offense in ann arbor, so there is quite a bit of it. Worth noting is that the university is on state property, so possession of marijuana on campus is still a felony. People usually aren't obnoxious about it.

Overall Experience

I love it here. The class choices are great and the atmosphere is incredible. U of M is really good at getting the small city feeling out of a large city with lots of options and opportunities. The only thing I don't like is that the more credits you have the earlier you can register for classes, so as a freshman you get stuck with all of the classes that nobody else wants and it's hard to find out what you want to do as a major when all the classes you want are taken by people that already have an idea.

Computers on Campus

The availability of computers is great, and the speed is a little above average. However, the amount of free paper given to each student is a little stingy and there seems to be only a very select amount of places on campus where you can print off things you find on the University site, at other printing sites they'll just print off blank pages.

On Campus Bus Service

The on campus bus service is fairly convenient, the only issue is that it is not always reliable. Dress warmly, because in the winter you could end up waiting 15-20 minutes for a bus.

Overall Experience

Michigan is an excellent school because it allows you to see the best and worst in people from different walks of life. You are able to be independent but there are resources available to you if you seek them out. Professors are extremely knowledgeable about content and there are boundless opportunities for research and obtain knowledge about any given subject. In addition, there are so many opportunities for people to participate in extracurricular activities through student organizations. There are restaurants galore on campus and many more close to campus (i.e. Downtown Ann Arbor, Briarwood Mall). Everything you need is within walking distance and if it's not, you can take the shuttle bus. There are opportunities to explore the arts and enjoy nature (arboretum). There are also opportunities to join student government and make a difference in the community. There are plenty of job opportunities on and off campus for students as well. Michigan is an awesome school! Go Blue!

Off-Campus Housing at University of Michigan

Off Campus Housing

There are multiple off campus housing options from renting houses to living in apartments. The off campus housing is often very close to campus and are close to bus lines so that you can access campus easily without using a car (free busing for students when you show your ID). Parking is usually only an issue if you live in a house off campus because a lot of students will park in neighborhoods so that they don't have to pay for parking.

I was surprised how friendly people were and how easy it was to make friends. The classes are hard but if you put enough time in you will do well. Even though the classes are big, I find the professors approachable and helpful. Don’t be scared to talk to them, they usually are more than happy to help. There are so many opportunities to try new things that you ever had a chance to experience in high school- take advantage of them! Ann Arbor is a great college town, there is lots to do.

Computers

There are plenty of places all over campus that offers free use of computers. But beware, they are tough to come by during exam week. I think it is important to have your own laptop, as they are often required for a class. You may want to bring your own printer to school as well because Michigan only gives you 400 pages to print per a semester. I have gotten internet everywhere expect in my psychology lecture- only macs were able to get internet there for whatever reason. Odd.

High Expectations

I am a Freshman at the University of Michigan. It is a great school and has been a tough learning experience. I have great teachers but kid you not the school has a great reputation and it is not easy. I work very hard to achieve my grades and even then they are not where I want them to be. I also have access to tutors which are a great since of relief. The teachers are available to answer all your questions you might have. I am thankful I have had the opportunity to attend the University of Michigan. Go Blue!

My Career at the University of Michigan

As I have not entered the University of Michigan, I anticipate that the program of Biology will be suitable for me. However, I want to apply to the Ross School of Business during my second semester of Freshman year. At the moment, I have different paths I am interested in which includes dentistry, optometry, and also a career in the business field. I am a little skeptical about finding a job in the business industry as there are so many other candidates across the world vying for jobs. However, the medical field seems a little more optimistic but I know it will be challenging and I am prepared to accomplish my goal.

Football Saturdays Rule

This may be the best part about going to a big school with a big emphasis on sports. It gives the whole student body and community something to get riled up about together. On saturdays the roads are filled with maize and blue, and frankly they are always filled with our colors. Facilities for athletes are of course a bit better than for the average student body but that isn't a big deal at all.

Frat Parties Aren't the Only Option

Frat parties are plentiful and packed with eager freshmen who are unable to enter the bars later at night, let alone order a drink there. Most places close early, by 1 or so, and parties usually last until about 2. I enjoy private house parties the most, avoiding the frat scene.
